Windland Inc. is a pioneer in the American wind energy industry.
Windland has owned and operated a wind farm near Tehachapi,
California for over 20 years. The wind farm ranks among California’s
highest performing projects and one of a handful run – without
interruption – by the same organization.
The wind regime of the Tehachapi Mountains is among the most
challenging in all North America. High wind speeds, extreme
turbulence, wildly fluctuating temperatures and harsh winters
have stressed turbine technology and wind farm operations.
The Tehachapi wind resource area has been and remains the toughest
test bed for wind power technology.
Windland has used five successive generations of wind turbine
generators at its Tehachapi site from the 25 and 40 kW turbines
of the early 1980’s to the megawatt class machines of
today. The company has had much experience with as great a
variety of technology. Windland has applied its unique experience
to its reconditioned turbine sale program TURBINE
SALES and in its new green field development efforts PROJECTS.
A member of the American Wind Energy Association (AWEA) been
since 1982, Windland has frequently collaborated with other
firms. Over the years, it has worked closely with Vestas Windsystems
A/S and FPL Energy. Windland recently announced a partnership
with Shell WindEnergy to jointly develop and operate the Cotterel
Mountain Wind Farm Project NEWS.
Windland moved to Boise, Idaho in 1992. This relocation enabled
the company to scour the Northwest for promising green field
project opportunities. The first result of these efforts is
the proposed Cotterel Mountain project, which is positioned
to become Idaho’s first commercial wind farm PROJECTS.
Since 1982, Windland has consistently met the challenges of
wind farm development and operation. It has done so through
a commitment to prudent, common sense business practice grounded
upon a solid foundation of proven integrity. |
